Democrats resort to flat out lying again.
Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who has announced plans to run for U.S. Senate, is facing criticism after questioning the accuracy of the Trump administration’s reported border enforcement results.
During a recent appearance on Meet the Press Now, Crockett was asked whether she could acknowledge what many voters see as a major accomplishment of President Trump’s immigration policy: sharply reduced illegal border crossings and reports of zero releases into the interior.
NBC News host Gabe Gutierrez noted that immigration remains a top concern for Texas voters and pointed out that border encounter numbers have dropped significantly under the Trump administration. He asked whether Crockett could credit the president for that outcome, even if she disagreed with his approach.
Crockett responded by acknowledging that official reports show fewer border encounters. However, she quickly cast doubt on the credibility of the data, suggesting the administration may not be fully transparent in how those figures are reported. She did not provide evidence to support that claim.
From there, Crockett shifted to broader criticism of the administration’s immigration strategy, arguing that President Trump’s enforcement policies are overly aggressive and accusing federal agencies of acting without sufficient congressional involvement. She repeated long-standing Democratic calls for “comprehensive immigration reform,” despite years of stalled legislation on Capitol Hill.
Crockett also criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement, referencing reports about enforcement practices and detention outcomes. In addition, she took aim at the Supreme Court of the United States, claiming recent rulings have expanded executive authority on immigration enforcement—an interpretation disputed by legal experts.
Conservatives argue the exchange underscores a broader problem facing Democrats: difficulty acknowledging measurable border improvements under President Trump. With illegal crossings reportedly at historic lows, critics say opponents are increasingly questioning the data itself rather than addressing the results.
As immigration remains one of the most important issues for voters heading into the next election cycle, the debate is likely to intensify. For many Americans, particularly older voters concerned about public safety and national sovereignty, the focus remains on outcomes—not rhetoric.
